They assembled not only to honour Chief (Dr.) Uzoma Obiyo, KSC, for his unwavering commitment to the welfare of his people, but also to witness the realization of a project to address a historical water scarcity issue in the community.

Even in Chief Obiyo’s unavoidable absence at the event, his presence was deeply felt through his Project Manager, Mr. Fidelis Ibe, who played a crucial role in the project’s execution.
